Managed by Exova Warringtonfire, the FIRAS scheme offers a technically equivalent alternative to the LPS 1048 scheme for the design & installation of sprinkler systems.

Using a FIRAS certificated company ensures that systems will be properly designed and that installers, assessed by FIRAS for their competence, will only use the correct products and systems within their tested and approved scope.

FIRAS installers of Commercial and Industrial Sprinkler Systems are required to maintain ISO 9001:2000 certification of their management system including records of every contract undertaken to facilitate programmed audits / inspections of ongoing work activities. FIRAS installers shall maintain records of all contract awards and on completion the installing company will issue a certificate of compliance and label their work.
